Multiple Choice: Metabolic Processes Flashcards
1
Q
What happens to NAD+
A
Reduction: NAD+ gains electrons from a hydride to form NADH
Oxidation: NADH loses its hydride electron to become NAD+
2
Q
Products of light dependant reactions in photosynthesis
A
water molecules are split as light energy is absorbed and transformed into chemical energy in ATP and NADPH
3
Q
The generation of concentration gradients in the mitochondria
A
An H+ gradient (proton)
Conplexes of the electron transport chain undergo redox reactions that, in turn, generate energy to pass up its gradients
4
Q
Fermentation in respiration
A
a process that uses an organic compound as the final oxidizing agent to produce energy
5
Q
Assembly’s of sugars during photosynthesis
A
- light-dependant reaction’s that produces ATP & NADPH
- Calvin cycle which converts ATP, NADPH & CO2 to glucose and makes ADP + Pi & NADP+ to be used for light dependant reactions
